Disneyland here I come! (almost)...we leave Tuesday at 3 am..Yikes Bikes! I guess this will be my last time in California for quite a while...which I guess I should be used to by now, but my 1st quarter at college was quite rough and I was home a lot. I thought a lot about my situation at SPU, yes I do miss home, yes I don't agree with the doctrine of the school, and yes I miss the love of my life, BUT I need to serve God regardless of my location or circumstances, and I need to not be such a downer and try to enjoy college while I'm there! Maybe what's holding me back is that I'm afraid I might actually like SPU and not want to come back. Right now I feel the only reason I come back is Seth, and sometimes my family, but as soon as I see them I discover that nothing has changed and that they are as disfunctional as ever. Besides the family being disfunctional, I have seen my mother grow tremendously and really start to discover the heart of God. My only hope is that she can continue to grow and not feel that I am her stronghold but that she can rely on the Lord. This quarter at school will be a lot about discovering what God has for my life in the present time and to not worry so much about what my future holds. I am excited for my history class and also my bible study in Romans! After doing so well on my first set of final grades I can only hope that I start a pattern of similarity :) Scarily, I feel that I am finallly growing up! Maybe too fast, but its exciting and I can see how much my perspective on things has changed since I've been gone. In conclusion, I leave this verse :)
1 Thessalonians 3:7-8
Therefore, brothers, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
